User talk:Naleksuh

Just wondering if there is a time requirement before I can apply for Bureaucrat, I wanted to test the check user feature on myself but the right is just listed as "requesters must first be an administrator". So should I just reapply now? Thanks Terasail 22:31, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

@Terasail: I've heard 30 days somewhere, but can't find it now. However, you should be able to use the CheckUser tool as an administrator although you will only be able to check yourself. Naleksuh (talk) 22:39, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

@Naleksuh: Ah thanks. Although I don't think I can since I don't see any way to do it & Test Wiki:Check user states that Bureaucrats are the only ones who can test on themselves as well as User:IWI stating the same thing here. Terasail 22:46, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, it does seem that only bureaucrats may use the CheckUser tool. I will go ahead and set you as a bureaucrat, however it may be a good idea to grant administrators access to it. Naleksuh (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, it would probably make more sense if admins could check themselves on this wiki. Terasail 22:55, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

PMJI, but in recent weeks rule of thumb has been, 24 hours plus at least 2-3 edits after the flag is added plus a request, then check to see that there's been no disruption, if all the boxes are checked grant the flag. I'm not saying that's the right answer, but the archives also show a similar pattern. Honestly, we probably should formalize the procedure somewhere, but given that no problems or arguments have resulted so far it's not exactly urgent.
